Guest DoofBert Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Wow~it's time for Tania's spay. She's a healthy, happy and active 10 month old. I can hardly believe little puppy girl is ready for her Spay. Anyway, I've never really had a hound in the house post op.....what should we expect? We are bringing out the ex pen so she can have some secluded space to rest and be under our watchful eye. And, if you think of it, send some good thoughts our way for a simple operation and speedy recovery. Thanks, Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest savvyprchick Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 She won't be allowed to jump and run for several days... will have to stay quiet. That's pretty hard for a puppy (Lulu had hers at 6 months). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mountain4greys Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Wow Jayne!! It's hard to believe she's a big girl now. Prayers for a very speedy recovery. Uncle Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Smooches to Tania! Some handle it better than others. The xpen is a great idea. Most of girls lay around for a few days and then are fine.

Guest Hannah Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 After you drop her off at the vets try and make time to relax, put your feet up and enjoy a good book and some peace and quiet. keeping a puppy quiet for 10 days post spay is a 25 hour a day occupation Arnica tablets help with the bruising ang general recovery as well as pain killers. Holly says to tell you that scrambled eggs and tuna hand fed in small quantities every hour (or half hour) also help When she got home holly had a wobble around the garden and a short nap before consuming some scrambled eggs. another nap and some tuna and kibble. another short nap then it was leap over the sofa (with bucket collar on) to demand walkies after that it was as if she had never had an operation at all and keeping her quiet was exhausting.

Guest trevdog Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) Dallas was only down and out for a day. Vet said let her be normal, she will not do anything that bothers her. 3 days post surgery she was totally normal although we did limit her to leash walking only for potty breaks until the stitches were out. She was her normal puppy self inside. Just keep an eye she doesn't mess with her stitches, she'll be fine. edited to add, we tried to keep her from jumping, but she was hopping up on the bed 2 days later.

Guest greybookends Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 You can expect this look. This is the look that says" I thought you loved me. How could you leave me alone at that place and let them do this to me?" If you are lucky the rest of your pack will show some temporary sympathy for the little imp and you could get this. She should be down for a day or so, then she should be right back to her normal self and maybe she will even be out for some retribution for the indignity you just put her through. It'll be alright. Prayers for an uneventful surgery. :hope :hope :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoofBert Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 HMM. well, if I know my Tania, I'll be in for some major stink eye, a leap over the sofa about 24 hours after that. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LUVMYBABIES Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't have any experience in that catagory because my boys came "tutored" I'm sending good thoughts to Tania for her experience. As a side note, I saw Tania's brother Spirit this past Sunday. OMG he is big and beautiful and handsome and sweet and lovable..... I am so happy for his Mommy and Daddy because they love him so much. He can do NO wrong! The last time I saw him was New Years Day and WOW has he grown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
